One factor that has been extraordinarily clear all through the offseason and coaching camp is that this Spurs groups is a particularly shut bunch. All of them don’t have anything however good issues to say about one another, new comers are welcomed with open arms, and everybody genuinely appears to be having a superb time. A whole lot of that’s as a result of fun-loving nature of crew captain Keldon Johnson, who is aware of when to be critical throughout sport time however can be the courtroom jester (no pun meant).
Working example, on Media Day, the Spurs handed out friendship bracelets, and everybody liked them, together with Johnson, who requested if anybody thought it might break if he wore it throughout a sport.
Then, it wasn’t even 24 hours later when the Spurs launched a comply with up video asking Johnson what occurred exterior, and hilarity ensues. Seemingly making an attempt to cowl up for himself, he claims Tre Jones doesn’t need to be his pal anymore as a result of he took his bracelet off, earlier than Jones jumps in and says Keldon broke it. Keldon says Tre is mendacity and jokes that he prefers his brother Tyus anyhow.
Maybe the funniest half is when Jeremy Sochan jumps in to play the function of pop, “slaps” Keldon and tells him, “that’s not good,” arms him a snack, and the meals fully takes KJ’s consideration away from the bracelet state of affairs.
It’s nice to see all of the comradery happening behind the scenes, and having a crew that’s joyful to be collectively is a giant step in direction of success. (It additionally doesn’t harm listening to Gregg Popovich say final 12 months was a studying 12 months, and this 12 months the purpose is to win.)
